Clad cleaning made easy!

[junkie84]

Here are some before and after pics from my clad cleaning process. I went to Harbor Freight and picked up a rock tumbler for $20.00. Put all the coins in with a scoop of gravel from my back yard. People say you need some special gravel, but it is clad, and anything will work. Filled the tumbler with enough water to cover the coins and gravel. I put in a little squirt of dish soap, and thats it. I let it run for 2 hours and it turns out nice and clean. Make sure you separate the silver coins from the pennies and do two different batches.

Maybe I am putting to much gravel in and the coins aren't tumbling. I have my clad Quarters nickels and dimes in for 3 hours. Dish soap aquarium gravel and thats it. They are still blackish.

I know, because that recipe won't clean silver colored clad coins that came out of the ground in my area either. Works fine on copper clad, but not on silver colored clad. You can try the recipe I posted at this link:
